In denial?

The other day I stepped into G2000 thinking I could get a large sized non-maternity business top.

SK: Hi, do you have size 40?
Sales lady: No more size 40, 38 is the largest here. You’re too big. Our cuttings are all very small (with an irritated look as if I’m in denial that she had to wake me up!)
SK: Ok, I think I’ll try the 38, I think I can fit
Sales lady: No. You’re too big. I don’t think you can fit. As I said, our cuttings are all very small
SK: Just let me try
Sales lady: You can go ahead and try, but I’m telling you, you’re big.

Hello? Customer service please?


PS: I could fit perfectly in size 38 but it will probably last me another 2 weeks. Thank God the sales lady was not around when I was out of the fitting room, otherwise, I may have ended up buying the shirt to prove her wrong. Haha.

Final lap

I’m wondering how motherhood would transform me like how it did to my good friends. How it has made them stronger than before and how they see things in perspective, differentiating what’s important in life. Deadlines and stress at work may no longer matter. Nothing is more important than the little life who depends on us fully. But I must admit that I am not there yet. Apart from a bigger belly with movements in my tummy, I am pretty much still consumed at work, more so during this period (preparation for results, hand-over etc).

I know this is the final lap before the FINISH line, or rather the START line?

Awakening

Sales person A: "Hi m’aam, can I help you?"
SK: "yes, I’m looking for make up remover"
Sales person A: "I see, m’aam, would u like to try XYZ"

10 minutes later..

Cashier B: "Good afternoon m’aam, that will be $xxx"

20 minutes later, SK walked by OCBC credit card roadshow at R. Place.

Sales person C: "Hi m’aam, OCBC card for you? M’aam if you sign up today we have free gifts blab la la…"

SK’s not listening and her mind wandered away: "Do I really look like a m’aam because of my pregnancy or have I been officially promoted from MISS ‘to M'AAM?"

The last I remembered, I was still being addressed as “xiao mei” (little sister) in food courts and cabs… Hmmm…but then again, come to think of it, the frequency has reduced tremendously recently.

As I was filling up the members application form for the cosmetic that I bought earlier, I realised too that in less than 12 months, I’ll be checking on the age category of 35-40…

Frankly, I don’t feel like I’m approaching 35, neither mentally nor physically. (denial???)

Argh! Is this a mini pre-mid-life-crisis awakening??

Double submergence

ON a sunny breezy Saturday afternoon, a mother and daughter were baptised at East Coast Park beach. Yeap that's Mojo and I. Having accepted Christ for more than 20 years, I finally got myself baptized. What made it more special was I shared this unforgettable moment with Mojo. It was a refreshing experience, as if I accepted Christ all over again. I'm believing for a supernatural painless birth with a healthy Mojo and she is going to be a special girl and a blessing to lots...

-Speak forth and it shall become the truth-

Choo choo

 

What an amazing cake! It was baked by LS’s sister for Zephy’s 2nd birthday. I’m inspired! Can’t wait to bake cake for Mojo. Ok that’s after we get an oven first :)

Gummy day

It’s Gummy day! Gummy is Mojo’s friend, ie WL’s daughter. She's nicked-name Gummy because she looked like one in her early sonograms. So, Gummy is scheduled to come out today! Thanks to the advancement of technology, I’ve been kept posted on the process since 7am :)

7:am - Mummy being induced
9.am – Epidural jab given to mummy
10.30 am – Doc broke water bag. Dilation : 1.5cm. Estimated delivery time:6pm
11.00 am – Mummy gobbled 2 cheese sandwich
12pm to 6pm - no news from mummy (SK checking her phone every 30 minutes)
7pm- Got a message from daddy : "Not much progress at dilation. So switching to C-sec now. Should be done by 9"
7.57pm- Another message from daddy: “Pleased to inform that our dearest daughter Caitlin was born at 7.25pm, today 24th Sept 09 Thurs. She is 50cm & 3.32kg"

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

No more Gummy. It shall be Caitlin from now on :)

BST

This is the book for Mojo’s nightly BST (Bible Story Time), around 10-11pm read by Macho Daddy. It’s a combination of all-time favourites from old and new testaments. Each story is followed by a devotion and short prayer. I think I'm enjoying it more than Mojo as the stories serve as reminders to me and more importantly I love the fact that we are spending time in the word of God like doing daily devotion together as a family :)
